After listening to Cang Ling's words, Ruoyun felt relieved, looked at the pill in front of her, and said:
"So, that young hero is really a kind person. We must not forget such a great kindness! What is his name?"
"Well…"
Ruoyun's question made Cang Ling look suffocated, and after a moment he answered with an embarrassed look on his face:
"I...I was so excited just now that I forgot to ask..."
"you!"
When Ruoyun heard Cang Ling's words, she suddenly lost her temper and took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
After receiving such a great favor from someone, she didn't even ask him his name in the end. Why didn't she realize that this man was so stupid before?
Seeing that Ruoyun was a little excited, Cang Ling immediately admitted his mistake:
"Yun'er, I was wrong, I'm going to find my benefactor right now!"
After saying that, he got up and wanted to go out to find Bu Xiaotian.
Ruoyun looked at the man in front of her who was full of herself, and realized that it was because he cared so much about her that he forgot to ask for the name of his benefactor in his excitement, and the anger in her heart subsided unknowingly.
"Forget it, you don't know the origin of your benefactor, and you don't know where he is going. This city is so big, I guess he can't be found.
Do you still remember the appearance of your benefactor? Tell me about it, so that you won’t be unable to recognize your benefactor when you meet him later. "
Now Cang Ling didn't dare to make Ruoyun angry anymore. He was as honest as a child who had done something wrong. He told the story of meeting Bu Xiaotian in detail, and focused on describing Bu Xiaotian's appearance.
Ruoyun listened quietly until Cang Ling finished speaking, then asked thoughtfully:
"Are you saying that my benefactor has white hair, but looks very young? He wears a green coat and carries a long bronze sword on his back?"
When Cang Ling heard Ruoyun's question, he thought about it carefully and made sure he remembered it correctly, then nodded:
"That's right."
Looking at Ruoyun's expression, she seemed to have thought of something, so she asked:
"Ruoyun, do you know your benefactor?"
Ruoyun shook her head gently and said:
"I don't know you, but what you said reminds me of a person. Do you still remember that when we traveled in Xuanzhou before, there was a white-haired swordsman rumored in some villages and towns?"
Being reminded by Ruoyun, Cang Ling also remembered that such a thing happened, and asked with a hint of surprise on his face:
"Are you saying that my benefactor is the white-haired swordsman?"
Ruoyun shook her head again:
"I'm not sure, but my benefactor is indeed very similar to the white-haired swordsman that those people say. And you said that my benefactor's cultivation level is extremely high. After thinking about it, it seems that there is only the mysterious white-haired swordsman. Can get it right."
At the end, Ruoyun showed a hint of relief in her eyes and said:
"Forget it, it's useless no matter how much we guess. Later we go to Xuanzhou to look for the white-haired swordsman. If he is really our benefactor, we must repay today's kindness!"
"Um!"
Now Cang Ling was completely convinced that what Ruoyun said was what he said, and he didn't dare to refute it, and why he didn't repay such a great kindness, so he nodded.
"Yun'er, you first take the Heart-Protect Pill to protect your heart, and then I will help you force the evil spirit out of your body. When you recover, we will go to our benefactor to repay our kindness!"
Ruoyun nodded without saying anything. With the help of Cang Ling, she sat up and took the heart-protecting pill.
The two of them here began to heal their wounds.
On the other side, Bu Xiaotian walked around Dian City for a long time, feeling a little confused.
Tianjizi only said that letting him come to southern Xinjiang would solve the doubts in his heart, but he did not say specifically where to go or what to do.
This left him wondering what to do next.
After thinking about it, Bu Xiaotian walked into a teahouse.
There are people coming and going in the teahouse, and you might be able to get some useful information for him.
After entering the teahouse, Bu Xiaotian sat down on a window seat on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.
There were many people in the teahouse, some chatting and bragging, some drinking tea and listening to books. It seemed very lively and the sound was very chaotic.
But Bu Xiaotian's cultivation is so advanced that even if he listens to so many people talking together, he can clearly distinguish what everyone said.
After listening for a long time, Bu Xiaotian didn't hear anything useful.
Just when Bu Xiaotian was a little disappointed and about to leave, the sound of conversation downstairs caught his attention.
One person asked:
"Brother Qiu, this is not the first time you have entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Why are you so embarrassed this time?"
Another person replied with some annoyance:
"Alas, Brother Cai, you don't know something. The places we went to before were all the territory of King Linglu.
King Linglu is gentle by nature, and so are the little demons under his command. His hatred for humans is not that deep. Although he is still unfriendly to humans, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, we will rarely have conflicts with those demons.
But the little demons under the other four demon kings are different, so unless they are those who rely on their advanced cultivation, few people enter the territory of the other four demon kings.
A few years ago, for some unknown reason, the five demon kings left their territory at the same time and entered the depths of the Shiwan Mountain. It was okay at first. The lingering power of the Linglu King was still there, and the little demons under the other demon kings did not dare to make trouble.
But with no sign of the big demon kings for such a long time, those little demons lost control. Under the leadership of several big demon generals, relying on the gentle temperament of the little demons on Linglu King's territory, they started to take over Linglu King's territory. .
Especially since there was a Gu tribe on King Linglu’s territory, they used the excuse that King Linglu had betrayed the Monster Tribe, forgot about the hatred between the human race and the Monster Tribe, and continued to occupy King Linglu’s territory. Even the Gu Tribe’s life Life has become increasingly difficult.
In the past two years, Linglu King's territory has become increasingly chaotic. Several Taoist friends and I met the demon generals of several other demon kings this time and barely escaped. "
As they spoke, the two began to speculate on the reasons for the disappearance of the five demon kings of the demon clan.
Bu Xiaotian was not interested in the civil strife of the Monster Clan. What he cared about was the Gu Clan mentioned in the conversation between the two.
The Yi tribe are the descendants of a human tribe that fled into the Shiwanda Mountains during the ancient demon clan's power. They are also called the Gu tribe because they are good at the art of poison.
The Gu clan relies on the Gu insects they raise to obtain powerful strength, so that they can continue to this day even though the demon clan is surrounding them.
There are all kinds of strange Gu insects in the Gu clan. Some Gu insects have very strange abilities, and Tongsheng Gu is one of them.
Live together, live together but not die together.
This Gu is a pair, one son and one mother.
On the day the Tongsheng Gu is refined, the two Gu insects will fall into a deep sleep, as if dead, and will only wake up after being implanted into two living bodies.
When the mother voodoo dies, the child voodoo and its host will also die. If the child voodoo dies, the mother voodoo will break out of its body and transform into a butterfly, but its host will not be affected.
If the person infected with the mother voodoo is dying, he can use the connection between the two voodoo insects to absorb the vitality of the child voodoo host and survive.
If a person infected with the sub-gu encounters a life-or-death crisis, the sub-gu will absorb all the essence of the host in an instant and store it in the body. If he does not come into contact with the host of the mother-gu within three days, he will die on his own.
If within three days the mother voodoo host comes into contact with the body of the person the child voodoo is parasitic on, the child voodoo will burrow into the body of the mother voodoo host in an instant. When the two voodoos meet, all the host essence swallowed by the child voodoo will be released. Become the host's own vitality.
Afterwards, the mother and son Gu will break out of the host's body and turn into Gu butterflies.
Back then, Mo Li planted the Tongsheng Gu on Bu Xiaotian.
After Mo Li used the forbidden technique to burn his soul to block Bu Xiaotian's attack from the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons, Zi Gu transferred all the vitality in Mo Li's body to Bu Xiaotian's body.
This is also the reason why Bu Xiaotian can survive until now despite the serious loss of his origin, and Mo Li's vitality can only extend Bu Xiaotian's life for ten more years.
As time passed year by year, although Bu Xiaotian's cultivation level continued to improve, the lost essence could not be replenished. He could feel that his life span was running out, and he did not want to die like this with the mystery in his heart. , then he decisively left Situ Xue and came to Southern Xinjiang alone.
Now that he heard the news about the Gu clan again, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Perhaps what Tianjizi said could solve his doubts lies in this mysterious Gu clan!
The next step Xiaotian made a decision in his mind was because he really had no other clue and could only go to the Gu clan to give it a try.
Bu Xiaotian put the tea money on the table, stood up and walked downstairs, going straight to the seats where the two men who mentioned the news about the Gu clan were sitting.
Both of them had good cultivation. As soon as Bu Xiaotian approached, they noticed it, stopped talking, and turned to look at Bu Xiaotian.
Bu Xiaotian didn’t mince words and asked directly:
"Can you two fellow Taoists tell me some news about the Gu clan?"
When they heard Bu Xiaotian's question, the two of them did not speak. Instead, they looked at Bu Xiaotian defensively.
Although they had not deliberately lowered their voices when talking before, being able to hear the content of their conversation in this noisy environment and noticing the Gu tribe that they had only briefly led them around meant that the person in front of them was probably paying attention from the beginning. them.
Bu Xiaotian saw the faint defensiveness in the eyes of the two people, took out a jade sword and said:
"Bu Yuntian, a disciple of the Yuxu Sect, has important matters to go to the Gu clan. I would also like to ask two fellow Taoists for a favor."
Seeing the unique jade sword of Yuxu Sect, the defensiveness in the eyes of the two people dissipated a lot. As a giant of the righteous path, Yuxu Sect does have a special status in the eyes of casual cultivators like them.
One of the big men with a somewhat pale face said:
"It turns out that I am a fellow Taoist from the Yuxu Sect. I'm sorry. Do you want to go to the Gu clan?"
Bu Xiaotian nodded:
"That's right."
The big man looked Bu Xiaotian up and down and saw that although he had white hair, he was not very old, so he couldn't help but persuade him:
"Fellow Taoist, Shiwandashan is not very peaceful now. Although you are a disciple of Yuxu Sect, your cultivation level is not very high at your age. I advise you not to take risks."
Bu Xiaotian nodded slightly and said:
"Thank you big brother, but I really have something important to do when I go to the Gu clan."
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian had made up his mind, the big man stopped trying to persuade him. It was just a chance encounter, and he wanted to persuade him a few words because he was both on the right path. If the other party didn't listen, he didn't need to say more, so he put his words in front of him. Shiwandashan said the news he got:
"Since the disappearance of the four great demon masters, the demon tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains have lost their leaders. The remaining demon tribes have refused to obey anyone. They have been in chaos for hundreds of years. Until a hundred years ago, five great demons appeared and turned a plate of scattered sand into pieces. The demon clan reunited and were known as the five demon kings, namely Ghost Bat, Scorpion, Viper, and Black Tiger.
Although the five demon kings are strong and weak, the gap is not big. No one can suppress the other four demon kings. Therefore, the five demon kings rule from the ground and check and balance each other. This can be regarded as an end to the hundreds of years of chaos among the demon clan. elephant.
Among them, the Linglu King is the most powerful, but also the gentlest in temperament. He does not have too much hatred for the human race. Almost all of his demons are trained in herbivorous beasts such as bison, wild elephants, and wild sheep. When you become a spirit, you are not as aggressive and bloodthirsty as a monster that was transformed from a beast.
The Gu tribe lives on the edge of the Linglu King's territory. Because mastering the Gu technique is enough to protect themselves, they can be considered at peace with those monster tribes.
However, a few years ago, the five demon kings disappeared together for unknown reasons.
It was okay at first. Although the five demon kings were gone, their residual power was still there, and the little demons under them did not dare to make any mistakes. However, as time went by, the five demon kings never appeared again, and some wild-tempered demon clans They no longer abided by the tacit understanding between the five demon kings and began to attack each other.
The demon clan under King Linglu was jointly targeted by other demon clans because of their race. The Gu clan was also implicated. Coupled with the hatred between the demon clan and the human clan, there would have been a lot of losses during this period. If it weren't for There are several powerful Gu masters in the clan, and they may have been exterminated long ago.
So I still want to advise you, unless your cultivation is so strong that you are not afraid of the siege of countless demon clans in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, otherwise you should not go and die. "
